Young Professionals Council

Program Overview

The mission of YPC is to develop and empower young LGBT professionals and their allies through the Young Professionals Council Academy (YPC Academy). The YPC Academy will help to expand the ranks of young LGBT leaders that are ready to further equality for our community through board service for a variety of agencies, not-for-profit organizations and government commissions.

The YPC fosters a culture of diversity, service, leadership, advocacy and camaraderie among young LGBT San Diegans while developing the next generation of LGBT and LGBT-allied civic leaders.

About

The goal of the project is to empower leaders in underrepresented communities to advance social justice policy agendas and achieve positions of influence with interconnected countywide leadership development resources that focus upon increasing the power of historically underrepresented communities, with a priority focus on racial/ethnic groups that too often have been without representation.
